Spurs hijack Everton's Danjuma deal in bizarre transfer twist

As of this morning, it was quite clear that Villarreal's Arnaut Danjuma would complete his move to Everton today. He had passed his medicals and recorded some media content for the Toffees. He had even assured an Everton fan about his commitment to the club's cause to save them from relegation on Instagram.

But all that went down the drain pretty quickly as Tottenham Hotspur showed interest this morning and turned the deal on its head. If the very reliable Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein are to be believed, then Danjuma will complete his Spurs medicals today itself.

As for Everton, it just adds more salt to the wound in what has been a pretty disastrous period for the club. They are also now running out of time to improve their squad in this window.

As for Spurs this is a good backup deal and will help them when Dejan Kulusevski is injured. As for the player himself, this is a slightly weird one. Although things look bleak at Everton and they do not even have a manager, there Danjuma would have been the main man and recieved a lot of love and prominence. At Spurs he will in all likelihood be behind Harry Kane, Hueng min Son, Kulusevski and Richarlison in the pecking order.
